FW Kyosuke Tagawa (22), who belongs to FC Tokyo of the Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League, seems to be almost certain to transfer to CD Santa Clara, who has Japan national team MF Hidemasa Morita (26). The Portuguese newspaper “A BOLA” reported on the 11th.
The player was promoted to the top team in Sagan Tosu in the 2017 season. After appearing in 24 games in the J1 league from the first year of the pro, he completely transferred to FC Tokyo following the end of the 2018 season. In the 2019 season, he played only 11 games in the J1 League, but in the 2021 season, he played 30 games and scored 5 goals. He made a leap forward by giving his name to the U24 Japan national team candidate for the Tokyo Olympics.
On the other hand, FC Tokyo announced the uniform number of the player who renewed the new strength and contract on the 7th of this month. Japan national team DF Yuto Nagatomo (35), who returned in the middle of the 2021 season, has been changed from “50” to “5”, and the new member Slawik has been changed to “24”. On the other hand, the uniform numbers of multiple players, including Kyosuke Tagawa, who was numbered “27” in the 2021 season, were not announced.
Among them, according to the report of “A BOLA”, CD Santa Clara of Primeira Liga (Portugal 1st Division) decided to acquire Kyosuke Tagawa. Kyosuke Tagawa himself has already left Japan and will be in the field on the 12th.
Santa Clara has been struggling since the beginning of the season and announced the dismissal of Nuno Vieira Campos in mid-December last year. Chiago Souza, who was the interim coach, announced on the 10th of this month that Mario Silva, who once led FC Porto, will be appointed as coach.
